"I Enjoy My Battles With Virat Kohli.." : Mitchell Starc Ahead Of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2

Historically, Kohli has had the upper hand against Starc in Test cricket, having scored 291 runs at an impressive average of 59.00 in their encounters, while Starc has dismissed him only four times across 19 innings.

In a recent statement, Starc acknowledged the competitive spirit of their matchups, saying, “I enjoy my battles with Virat Kohli because we’ve played a lot of cricket against one another. I always have some good battles. I’ve managed to get him out once or twice, and he’s no doubt scored a fair few runs against me, so it’s always a good contest and one we both enjoy.”

The excitement doesn’t end there, as Glenn Maxwell, the Australian all-rounder, also highlighted the intriguing duel between Kohli and Australian batting stalwart Steve Smith.

Maxwell noted the importance of these key players in influencing the outcome of the series, stating, “The way that the two superstar batters, Steve Smith and Virat Kohli, are probably head-to-head will show how their dominance is asserted on the series and how much of an influence that has on who takes home the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. One of those two is going to make a lot of runs, if not both of them, and it is going to be pretty exciting to watch the two of the finest players of our generation go head-to-head.”

The much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar series will kick off on November 22, with the first Test scheduled to take place in Perth. Fans and analysts alike are keen to see how these remarkable contests unfold on the field.
